Space: 1999 'Maybe There' The Lost Stories Softcover Book:

Enjoy NINE novelised lost stories from the original series of Space: 1999. Featuring un-produced and early drafts of scripts that never made it to screen, but clearly demonstrate the evolution of the 1970s science fiction series.

Strap into your Moon Ship and prepare for a trip to an alternate universe!

Discover how and why aliens from the planet Uranus negate the Moon’s gravity, sending it out of Earth's orbit and condemning the residents of Moon City to wander the universe. Suspect the intentions of a shape-shifting creature that invades Moon Base Alpha. Fear a life-ending galactic phenomenon.

Gathered here for the first time are the original stories written in the early days of production on the internationally acclaimed television series SPACE: 1999. Discover the differences between Gerry & Sylvia Anderson’s original story “Zero G,” George Bellak’s first draft of “The Void Ahead,” and Christopher Penfold’s uncredited shooting script “Turning Point.” Each of these tales shows the evolution of the pilot episode with scenes and characters that never made it to the screen.

Discover how Art Wallace (Dark Shadows) originally envisioned the episode that became “Matter of Life and Death.” Wonder at a tale that was NEVER filmed, where the Alpha People, desperate to migrate to a new home, instigate a conflict between two alien races.

Also included are Christopher Penfold’s original storylines for “Guardian of Piri” and “Dragon’s Domain,” and an adaption of Keith Miles’ early draft for “All That Glisters.”

Judge for yourself, Commander Maddox or Commander Koenig? Moon City or Moonbase Alpha? Prober One or Eagle One? Discover how SPACE: 1999 might have been had they gone “Maybe There?”
